This July sees the launch of a brand-new event series from moss.fm in collaboration with Grow, Hackney. moss.fm is a non-profit promoter championing independent sounds and accessible spaces.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS AND DJS
Each night will be recorded live and released shortly after, these are events that are made to be repeated.
Kicking off the series is an intimate night curated and headlined by award-winning film composer, multi-instrumentalist, and performing artist Mara Simpson, celebrating the release of her new album Living Matter. Expect an evening of genre-blending sounds, thoughtful curation, and a dynamic atmosphere.
Mara Simpson creates vast textural soundscapes using digital and organic instrumentation symbiotically to create journeying ambient compositions. Mara uses her skills as an award winning multi-faceted composer to bring rich contrast to her work, seamlessly blending modular synthesisers and acoustic instruments whilst intertwining with flavours of tape delays, breathy vocals and her own field recordings to create the original sound of Mara Simpson.
Her latest album, Living Matter, explores folk-inspired compositions rooted in natural imagery, think layers of oak and turf, interlaced within the circuitry of arpeggiators. She brings her new release to Grow Hackney for what is certain to be a dynamic live show. Mara has gained notoriety across BBC Radio 6 Music as well as her numerous genre-defying musical works for TV series.
Joining Mara is…
Sm^sher, the moniker of artist and producer Imogen Mason. sm^sher's sonic world is impulsive, visceral and tapestried; weaving meditations on memory, grief, addiction, introversion and hope around industrial soundscape, fractured beats, drone-backed folk song and collage.
Louis Giannamore - by day, he is a session drummer, by night, an electronic and ambient composer and artist, creates grandiose and cinematic sound scapes using analog synths and field recordings. His sound design replicates that of an electric guitar or spaceship rather than synthesiser, with intention to create an auditory world that feels powerful and brooding.
